Solution

The correct option is D Yellow fever and dengue
  • Yellow fever is a viral disease of typically short duration which is caused by the yellow fever virus and is spread by the bite of an infected female mosquito (most commonly Aedes aegypti). It infects only humans, other primates, and several species of mosquitoes.
  • Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne tropical disease caused by the dengue virus. Dengue is spread by several species of a mosquito of the female Aedes type, principally Aedes aegypti. Symptoms include high fever, headache, vomiting, muscle and joint pains, characteristic skin rash, bleeding, low levels of blood platelets and blood plasma leakage.

  • So, the correct answer is 'Yellow fever and dengue'.
